Ken for Alcorn our greatest team has to be the 1968 team. We made our first visit to the Orange Blossom Classic which was led by Ken Riley who had a stellar Pro career with the Bengals. We won the game 36 - 9 and held FAMU to minus 38 yards total offense. That game really put Alcorn on the map in 1968. That year was also the first time we beat Grambling. It was a special time as we had progressed each year from 1964-68 up to that Grambling game. Oscar Martin arguably the best receiver to ever wear the Purple/Gold, Marvin Weeks QB....
As a kid in PG the names of the Receiver "Oscar" and that QB Marvin Weeks were spoken on every street corner in excitement and reference as if they were the greatest football players who had ever played the game! That name "Oscar" triggered long dormant Neuronal Synapses! LOL! Thanks!
Yep that 84 team was a very good one and that game in Jackson between MVSU/ASU still has the largest attended game in that stadium today over 64,000.We already know the answer for Valley. The most memorable and talked about team in SWAC history
We know the Satellite Express got all the headlines but there was quite a nunber of guys from that 84 team that ended up playing in the NFL (Danta Whitaker, Carl Bynum, Joe Thomas, etc)
That Ace Mumford team started a 3 years unbeaten 2 ties campaign:
1948 12-0 BCNC
1949 10-0-1 (Tied Langston 14-14) BCNC
1950 10-0-1 (Tied FAMU 0-0) BCNC
I thought it was the team with the 23-game SWAC winning streak. I guess I know why that one is not brought up. LoL.
Surely you're not digging for Kudos from a program that has won 1 SWAC Championship in 20 years. I'm not sure that you all are even good enough to be dubbed Average and Mediocre.....LOL

My Honorable Mentions for AAMU:
1972- 7-1-1 SIAC Champs, had several standout players on the team that went pro including NFL Hall of Famer- John Stallworth

1989- 8-4-0 SIAC Champs, went to NCAA Playoffs, Standout Player was Barry Wagner who is considered the best Arena Football League Player of All Time
2006- 9-3-0 SWAC Champs, the first so far....
My nomination for Greatest Team
1963: Team went undefeated at 8-0; won the SIAC Championship obviously with a 7-0 conference record.
Lots of guys on the squad stayed in the community, served in many professions as well as volunteering, coaching, and teaching my generation that grew up in Huntsville. So I grew up with the sons and daugthers of many of the players on this team.
BTW, check out #50 in the photo. His contributions to AAMU and the Huntsville Community (and even in the HBCU Sports Boards) has been impeccable.
Doggone shame ain't it. The puppies need to return back to their corner. I don't know why folks that have lost 7-in-a-row to us dare to throw shade. lolSurely you're not digging for Kudos from a program that has won 1 SWAC Championship in 20 years.

I don’t think they were scored on, if I remember correctly.1948 Southern University Football Team 12-0 and was the first HBCU team to defeat a PWI in a bowl game. The Fruit Bowl in San Francisco.

yea those teams would have killed the 03 team. They were really physical.Pete's 1st team in 1993 (11-1) & 1995 (11-1) wasn't a joke either. The 95 team was 2 points away from going 12-0 (like the 2003 team).
The season-average was 2.75 ppg (gave up 33 points in 12 games). Darn near shut out everyone.I don’t think they were scored on, if I remember correctly.

Oracle is just being.......The Oracle, ain't no rhyme or reason for him.......LOL He has been putting the SWAC on notice for the last 20 years (and we know how that have turned out).
